I just made some calculations on how the tax changes to the medical aid contributions is going to affect us from 1 March 2012...if there was a councillor's house or for that matter any ANC politician's house nearby, I would personally burn it down to the ground. We are getting screwed BIG TIME with this tax change and no one is complaining publicly.

When will the populace learn that they don't have to vote for the ANC?
